PlasmaShell Frozen after Update

Zaiakursed · 4 April 2023 23:26

usually happens right after loging in from power on. and just from the recent big update.
once I am on Desktop, I’ll have to wait like a minute before I can open anything, It is frozen, then once I can see my Dock, I’ll open KSysGuard to end Plasmashell, because my videowallpaper is frozen,

Then from Konsole, I run plasma shell, now it’s ok, but later on, it will freeze again.

I’m guessing that disabling ‘smartvideowallpaper’ might help?

Or you can try with a new user - does the desktop behave normally ?

You can attempt a number of steps, increasing in intensity, to get rid of old KDE/configuration clutter.

I’m sorry, I’m quite slow with the response, upom disabling smartvideowallpaper, yes that fixed the freezing desktop, but this way I can no longer use that cool video wall.

also when I did that, I tried to kill plasmashell again and the re-run it through Konsole, and I get this Log:

I’m just going to mention here the preferred way is with kquitapp5 and kstart5.
Maybe that is what you did here?

kquitapp5 plasmashell && kstart5 plasmashell

As to the error itself. I’m not sure … but I’d be willing to bet that if the system is up to date and you follow the ‘configuration-related’ article in the arch wiki that it will be sorted. Though you will have to reconfigure the desktop settings. This cleaning should help sort out any ghosts in the shell … but if something you set reintroduces errors, as in the case of the video wallpaper, then you can pinpoint that issue.

I use Ctrl+Alt+Esc then a Bone Icon Replaces my Cursor Icon, Then I Click the frozen Dialogue of Desktop Settings, That’s how I end it…

I’d say that I am not properly informed yet, because when I was just starting up to use linux, I rely on youtube tutorials, and I haven’t even read the manual yet. So after every update, I just shutdown, and ignore those restart prompts.

I just really like to use a different OS than windows because I don’t want other people using my device, usually when people around me see a different OS than Windows, they are already lost in the UI, plus I get to learn something new and I mostly need not to worry about the common windows malwares and viruses.

I just might let this issue I am having go along, once I properly informed myself, I;ll do a fresh install, maybe.

thanks for the support, but still, I’ll look in to it, somehow later on.
